Overview

Whilst communications messages (eg from other ships) have been recordable for some time, this has not been true for console messages until Oolite v.1.92.

This OXP records the console messages.

The Console log history is cleared each time you launch from a station.

Note that these Console Messages are quite unrelated to the Debug Console for OXP development

Operation

When docked, a "Console Message Log" item will appear in the Interfaces (F4) screen. When opened, all messages received by the player will be listed, in date order (oldest first, newest last). From this screen there are several options:

Previous Page: Move the list back one page.

Next Page: Move the list forward one page.

First Page: Go to the first page of the list.

Last Page: Go to the last page of the list.

Write console log to latest.log: Write all messages to the latest.log file.

Clear the log: Clears all messages from the log.

Installation

Install the OXP by copying ConsoleLogMFD.oxz to your AddOns folder, or downloading via the Expansions Manager in the game itself.

Gameplay and Balance Indicator

Console messages usually only display for 3 seconds and are irretrievable once faded. If one was important...
